ABC's Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Recognizes the efforts of ABC members that strive to achieve effective safety practices at their firms and provides contractors with a tool to objectively evaluate their safety programs, policies, procedures and training. Using a form provided by ABC national, contractors evaluate their programs and receive certificates for qualifying at either the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum levels. Contractors can use the STEP certification, which lasts for one year, as a business marketing tool and to improve safety at their firms. Featured below are our 2009 MN ABC STEP Winners.
